President Jair Bolsonaro accused the media on Monday of lying and defaming him and questioned whether the purpose of the press is to overthrow him.

As he left the Planalto Palace, where he greeted a group of supporters, he said media coverage of his government could not continue being "coward" and "crooked."

"I regret that the Brazilian press acts that way. All the time lying, distorting, defaming. Do you want to bring me down? I have hard leather; it's going to be hard. Keep lying," he said.

The president's initially directed his criticism at Folha and the Correio Braziliense newspapers. He later also criticized the O Globo newspaper.
